Hey guys, today I'm going to give you our top 10 reasons why you should travel after Lockdown. So let's dive right in!
Number 1 on the list: You Can Cure Your Cabin
Fever... For those of us who spend a lot of time on
the road, spending a few weeks at home has its perks, but after a while cabin fever is
bound to set in. To stay sane, spend your time indoors planning
your next road trip and as soon as it’s safe, get out on the road and breathe that
sweet fresh air!
Number 2: Pay Less For Travel Packages... The travel industry has been hit hard by Covid19,
and many travel companies are doing everything they can do to stay in business and keep their
teams employed. One of the things you can expect to see over
the next few months is cheaper travel packages - both locally and internationally. So keep an eye out for some awesome deals!
Heading on to Number 3: Anti-Covid Accommodation
Will Make Traveling Safer For You So, leading on from the previous point, many
local accommodation places are offering cheaper rates and are busy implementing anti-coronavirus
initiatives to keep you safe during your stay. Look for those hostels, hotels and guesthouses
that have a plan of action in place... Do they offer hand sanitiser, do they decontaminate
the rooms, and are they geared up for social distancing? If you choose the right places to stay, you
can keep self-isolating while you travel.
So heading on to Number 4: You Can Finally
Check Off Your Bucket List... If you haven’t yet visited all the national
parks, monuments and heritage sights, because they’re usually too busy,
now could be your chance to see and do those things on your bucket list without waiting
in queues.
Introducing Number 5: Time To Step Back Out
Of Your Comfort Zone... Sooo, spending time on the couch reading,
catching up on shows was great, but it’s time to kick the comfort zone and get back
on track. Plan your road trip, pack a bag and try new
things!
Moving on to Number 6: You Can Get Back To
Being Fit And Healthy Outdoors... Having pancakes for breakfast, lunch and dinner
seemed like a good idea at the time, but remember those hiking trails you always said you’d
do, but never did? Now’s your chance.
Number 7 Travel Now, While You Can... If you’re like me, not having the freedom
to travel should make you want to travel even more. We don’t know what the future will bring,
or if Covid will be back again, but that’s even more reason to appreciate every opportunity
we have to get out and explore while we can.
Number 8: Remind Yourself Of All The Good
Things... When all you hear is bad news, it can get
hard to see the good things. Getting out and exploring will remind you
of the beauty of life and this incredible planet we live on.
Number 9: You Can Reunite With Friends And
Family Safely... We’ve had time to think about how important
friends and family are, and after Lockdown I'm pretty sure you’ll want to reconnect
with them again. Plan a getaway at places (like self-catering
cottages) that allow you to share the experience with your favourite people while still maintaining
safe social distancing.
Last but not least, Number 10: Tourism Is
Changing And You Can Help It Survive... Accommodation places are stepping up their
anti-Covid measures, tour companies are adapting their tours,
activity providers are offering new options… And we’ve just launched some new self-drive
packages ourselves too. When you travel locally after the Lockdown
you’ll be one of the first people to experience and shape the NEW style of travel. It doesn’t get more exciting than that! So that wraps up our top 10 reasons. If Covid is still hectic when you’re watching
this please stay home, but if it’s safe to travel then take every precaution necessary
to keep you and everyone else safe.
